Richard pops round the corner from his last venue to a place renowned for its tradition of providing a ‘relaxed beer-supping, movie-watching’ environment. The back room has beds where customers can recline and watch classic movies and at this time of year see the odd show. Another room has board games, a dartboard and an arcade machine. Truly quirky! It also has a sister pub on Leith Walk with the same name.
Name: Hannah Sutherst
Age: 21
Bar: Brass Monkey. 14 Drummond Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9TU
Background: Born in Newcastle upon Tyne and went to school there. Around the age of 14 she started playing guitar in the clubs and pubs with her grandfather who used to hang out with buskers and other performers. Inevitably she ended up working behind the bar not long after she’d turned seventeen. Illegal but fun! At eighteen she began her studies at the University of Edinburgh reading English Literature. The
Brass Monkey became her local and she regarded it as the coolest pub in Edinburgh. She handed in her CV to work there and waited six months for a vacancy to appear. She dropped out of Uni and became the duty manager and first-aider at the pub. That proved to be life-changing and she started training for a new career.
Ambition: To be a nurse
Favourite Drink: Caol Ila single Malt Whisky.
